Solution steps

tan (\frac{π}{24}) - cot (\frac{π}{24})

Rewrite using trig identities:

cot (\frac{π}{24}) = \frac{1}{tan ( \frac{π}{24} )}

cot (\frac{π}{24})

Use the basic trigonometric identity:

cot (x) = \frac{1}{tan ( x )}

= \frac{1}{tan ( \frac{π}{24} )}

= tan (\frac{π}{24}) - \frac{1}{tan ( \frac{π}{24} )}

tan (\frac{π}{24}) - \frac{1}{tan ( \frac{π}{24} )} = \frac{tan ^{2} ( \frac{π}{24} ) - 1}{tan ( \frac{π}{24} )}

tan (\frac{π}{24}) - \frac{1}{tan ( \frac{π}{24} )}

Convert element to fraction:

tan (\frac{π}{24}) = \frac{tan ( \frac{π}{24} ) tan ( \frac{π}{24} )}{tan ( \frac{π}{24} )}

= \frac{tan ( \frac{π}{24} ) tan ( \frac{π}{24} )}{tan ( \frac{π}{24} )} - \frac{1}{tan ( \frac{π}{24} )}

Since the denominators are equal, combine the fractions:

\frac{a}{c} \pm \frac{b}{c} = \frac{a \pm b}{c}

= \frac{tan ( \frac{π}{24} ) tan ( \frac{π}{24} ) - 1}{tan ( \frac{π}{24} )}

tan (\frac{π}{24}) tan (\frac{π}{24}) - 1 = tan^{2} (\frac{π}{24}) - 1

tan (\frac{π}{24}) tan (\frac{π}{24}) - 1

tan (\frac{π}{24}) tan (\frac{π}{24}) = tan^{2} (\frac{π}{24})

tan (\frac{π}{24}) tan (\frac{π}{24})

Apply exponent rule:

a^{b} \cdot a^{c} = a^{b + c}

tan (\frac{π}{24}) tan (\frac{π}{24}) = tan^{1 + 1} (\frac{π}{24})

= tan^{1 + 1} (\frac{π}{24})

Add the numbers:

1 + 1 = 2

= tan^{2} (\frac{π}{24})

= tan^{2} (\frac{π}{24}) - 1

= \frac{tan ^{2} ( \frac{π}{24} ) - 1}{tan ( \frac{π}{24} )}

= \frac{tan ^{2} ( \frac{π}{24} ) - 1}{tan ( \frac{π}{24} )}

Rewrite using trig identities:

tan (\frac{π}{24}) = \frac{4 - 6 - 2}{4 + 6 + 2}

tan (\frac{π}{24})

Rewrite using trig identities:

\frac{1 - cos ( \frac{π}{12} )}{1 + cos ( \frac{π}{12} )}

tan (\frac{π}{24})

Write

tan (\frac{π}{24})

tan (\frac{\frac{π}{12}}{2})

= tan (\frac{\frac{π}{12}}{2})

Use the Half Angle identity:

tan (\frac{θ}{2}) = \frac{1 - cos ( θ )}{1 + cos ( θ )}

Rewrite using trig identities:

tan^{2} (θ) = \frac{1 - cos ( 2 θ )}{1 + cos ( 2 θ )}

Use the following identity

tan (θ) = \frac{sin ( θ )}{cos ( θ )}

Square both sides

tan^{2} (θ) = \frac{sin ^{2} ( θ )}{cos ^{2} ( θ )}

Rewrite using trig identities:

sin^{2} (θ) = \frac{1 - cos ( 2 θ )}{2}

Use the Double Angle identity

cos (2 θ) = 1 - 2 sin^{2} (θ)

Switch sides

2 sin^{2} (θ) - 1 = - cos (2 θ)

Add

1

to both sides

2 sin^{2} (θ) = 1 - cos (2 θ)

Divide both sides by

2

sin^{2} (θ) = \frac{1 - cos ( 2 θ )}{2}

Rewrite using trig identities:

cos^{2} (θ) = \frac{1 + cos ( 2 θ )}{2}

Use the Double Angle identity

cos (2 θ) = 2 cos^{2} (θ) - 1

Switch sides

2 cos^{2} (θ) - 1 = cos (2 θ)

Add

1

to both sides

2 sin^{2} (θ) = 1 + cos (2 θ)

Divide both sides by

2

cos^{2} (θ) = \frac{1 + cos ( 2 θ )}{2}

tan^{2} (θ) = \frac{\frac{1 - c o s ( 2 θ )}{2}}{\frac{1 + c o s ( 2 θ )}{2}}

Simplify

tan^{2} (θ) = \frac{1 - cos ( 2 θ )}{1 + cos ( 2 θ )}

Substitute

θ

with

\frac{θ}{2}

tan^{2} (\frac{θ}{2}) = \frac{1 - cos ( 2 \cdot \frac{θ}{2} )}{1 + cos ( 2 \cdot \frac{θ}{2} )}

Simplify

tan^{2} (\frac{θ}{2}) = \frac{1 - cos ( θ )}{1 + cos ( θ )}

Square root both sides

Choose the root sign according to the quadrant of

\frac{θ}{2}

range [0, \frac{π}{2}] [\frac{π}{2}, π] quadrant I II tan positive negative

tan (\frac{θ}{2}) = \frac{1 - cos ( θ )}{1 + cos ( θ )}

= \frac{1 - cos ( \frac{π}{12} )}{1 + cos ( \frac{π}{12} )}

= \frac{1 - cos ( \frac{π}{12} )}{1 + cos ( \frac{π}{12} )}

cos (\frac{π}{12})

Write

cos (\frac{π}{12})

cos (\frac{π}{4} - \frac{π}{6})

= cos (\frac{π}{4} - \frac{π}{6})

Use the Angle Difference identity:

cos (s - t) = cos (s) cos (t) + sin (s) sin (t)

= cos (\frac{π}{4}) cos (\frac{π}{6}) + sin (\frac{π}{4}) sin (\frac{π}{6})

= cos (\frac{π}{4}) cos (\frac{π}{6}) + sin (\frac{π}{4}) sin (\frac{π}{6})

2 (6 + 2)

Apply the distributive law:

a (b + c) = ab + a c

a = 2, b = 6, c = 2

= 26 + 22

Simplify

26 + 22 : 23 + 2

26 + 22

26 = 23

26

Factor integer

6 = 2 \cdot 3

= 2 2 \cdot 3

Apply radical rule:

2 \cdot 3 = 23

= 223

Apply radical rule:

a a = a

22 = 2

= 23

22 = 2

Apply radical rule:

a a = a

22 = 2

= 2

= 23 + 2

= 23 + 2

= - \frac{2 3 + 2}{3 - 1}

Rationalize

- \frac{2 3 + 2}{3 - 1} : - 2 (2 + 3)

- \frac{2 3 + 2}{3 - 1}

Multiply by the conjugate

\frac{3 + 1}{3 + 1}

= - \frac{( 2 3 + 2 ) ( 3 + 1 )}{( 3 - 1 ) ( 3 + 1 )}

(23 + 2) (3 + 1) = 8 + 43

(23 + 2) (3 + 1)

Apply FOIL method:

(a + b) (c + d) = a c + a d + b c + b d

a = 23, b = 2, c = 3, d = 1

= 233 + 23 \cdot 1 + 23 + 2 \cdot 1

= 233 + 2 \cdot 1 \cdot 3 + 23 + 2 \cdot 1

Simplify

233 + 2 \cdot 1 \cdot 3 + 23 + 2 \cdot 1 : 8 + 43

233 + 2 \cdot 1 \cdot 3 + 23 + 2 \cdot 1

233 = 6

Apply Difference of Two Squares Formula:

(a - b) (a + b) = a^{2} - b^{2}

a = 3, b = 1

= (3)^{2} - 1^{2}

Simplify

(3)^{2} - 1^{2} : 2

(3)^{2} - 1^{2}

Apply rule

1^{a} = 1

1^{2} = 1

= (3)^{2} - 1

(3)^{2} = 3

(3)^{2}

Apply radical rule:

a = a^{\frac{1}{2}}

= (3^{\frac{1}{2}})^{2}

Apply exponent rule:

(a^{b})^{c} = a^{b c}

= 3^{\frac{1}{2} \cdot 2}

\frac{1}{2} \cdot 2 = 1

\frac{1}{2} \cdot 2

Multiply fractions:

a \cdot \frac{b}{c} = \frac{a \cdot b}{c}

= \frac{1 \cdot 2}{2}

Cancel the common factor:

2

= 1

= 3

= 3 - 1

Subtract the numbers:

3 - 1 = 2

= 2

= 2

= - \frac{8 + 4 3}{2}

Cancel

\frac{8 + 4 3}{2} : 2 (2 + 3)

\frac{8 + 4 3}{2}

Factor

8 + 43 : 4 (2 + 3)

8 + 43

Rewrite as

= 4 \cdot 2 + 43

Factor out common term

4

= 4 (2 + 3)

= \frac{4 ( 2 + 3 )}{2}

Divide the numbers:

\frac{4}{2} = 2

= 2 (2 + 3)

= - 2 (2 + 3)

= - 2 (2 + 3)

= - 2 (2 + 3)
